I pray to St Publius that our leaders will be leaders who defend the dignity of all humans, no matter who they are – The Archbishop

Mass on the feast of St Publius

23/04/2023   The Parish Church of St Publius, Floriana

“Jiddi d-dawl tiegħek fid-dlam. Id-dlam tiegħek ikun bħal nofsinhar. Il-Mulej imexxik dejjem”. Dan il-kliem tal-profeta Iżaija li smajna fl-ewwel qari hu indirizzat ukoll illum lill-qaddis San Publiju. Ismu kien wieħed mill-iżjed ismijiet popolari fid-dinja Rumana. L-istudjużi jgħidulna li l-isem Publius kien x’aktarx il-ħames isem popolari fl-Imperu Ruman u l-għerq tiegħu kien propju riferiment għall-poplu. Mill-istess għerq ta’ Publiju għandna l-poplu stess, repubblika – dawn kollha ġejjin mill-istess għerq li jagħtina l-isem ukoll, il-prenome kif kienu jgħidulu l-Latini: publius… Read more »

Pope during Regina Caeli: Let our heart vibrate at the breath of his Word

23/04/2023

Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!

On this third Sunday of Easter, the Gospel narrates the encounter of the Risen Jesus with the disciples of Emmaus (cf. Lk 24:13-35). These are two disciples who, resigned to the death of the Master, decide on the day of Passover to leave Jerusalem and to return home. Perhaps they were a little uneasy because they had heard the women coming from the sepulchre and saying that the Lord was like that… they go away… Read more »

Lord, you taught me the path of life – Bishop Galea-Curmi

“Mulej, int tgħallimni t-triq tal-ħajja”. Dan hu li llum tlabna fis-Salm, u li smajna wkoll lil San Pietru jgħid fit-Tħabbira tal-Għid, fil-qari mill-Atti tal-Appostli. U llum l-Evanġelju jurina lil Ġesù miexi fit-triq ma’ żewġ dixxipli.

Nixtieq li naraw dan ir-rakkont sabiħ x’jgħidilna għall-ħajja tagħna, speċjalment meta nħarsu lejn dawn iż-żewġ dixxipli u nħarsu wkoll lejn Ġesù… Read more »

He shows me his wounds and I believe it is Him – Archbishop

15/04/2023   Saint Paul's Cathedral, Mdina

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Din is-silta mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann li għadna kemm smajna, titkellem dwar laqgħa ta’ Ġesù mad-dixxipli tiegħu f’żewġt ijiem partikolari. L-Evanġelju jibda bir-riferiment għal dakinhar tal-Irxoxt ta’ Ġesù: “Dakinhar filgħaxija, fl-ewwel jum tal-ġimgħa” (Ġw 20:19); imbagħad it-tieni laqgħa ta’ Ġesù ssir “Tmint ijiem wara” (Ġw 20:26). Huwa sinjal għalina li nixtieq li napprezzaw ħafna, waqt li  napprezzaw ukoll il-laqgħat tagħna li jiċċelebraw il-Qawmien ta’ Ġesù mill-Imwiet, proprju mis-Sibt filgħaxija sal-Ħadd filgħaxija… Read more »

He cares about the whole person – Bishop Galea-Curmi

21/04/2023

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Mnejn nixtru l-ħobż biex dawn ikollhom x’jieklu?” (Ġw 6:5) Din kienet id-domanda li għamel Ġesù lil wieħed mid-dixxipli, Filippu, kif naqraw fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann illum, u għamilha meta hu kien mar lejn l-għoljiet mad-dixxipli, u ra kotra kbira ta’ nies ġejja lejh. Kif jgħidilna l-Evanġelju, għamel din id-domanda mhux għax fil-fatt ried ikun jaf minn fejn se jixtri, imma għax “kien jaf x’sejjer jagħmel” (Ġw 6:6)… Read more »
